Steel all-road frame

This copper color has become popular in the last couple of years. It all started when I built two frames for the handbuilt bike show in Sacramento in 2018. The tandem and the MTB frame I built were in a very similar color that is no longer available. This copper is as close as it gets in powdercoat.
This frame is a bit different in that it has an integrated style head tube, very much the same as what I use on my aluminum frames but almost never on steel- but I am starting to use this head tube more often.
The Enve 500 rake G-series fork required a long wait, maybe 5-6 months but it did show up and I had it painted to match. Hopefully soon this frame will be on the road with the new owner next month.
